Adam, you should have a nice running car when it is all said and done
I can't believe I read this E N T I R E thread
It seems like you are having fun
Since you are gonna cam it ........
You'll most likely not have concerns with the pulleys
as you will run an elevated idle speed
That is ... unless you got one of those mega amp pullin sound systems

The guy at p engines .com said my engine wouldnt run with those TW heads too. Weird but clearance was fine and they ran great.
The twisted wedge heads can be ran with flat top pistons with no valve reliefs due to thier valve angle but that only works with smaller cams.
Adam what size valves do your heads have? what pistons are those? Make sure you check the piston to valve clearance. I thought that the old TFS heads had 2.02 1.60 valves and with those pistons you should run into issues with 2.02 valves. Hopefully I'm wrong on that. It looks like a nice budget build! Lets see some pics of those heads when you get a chance. Have fun man.
Exactly. We dont want to see you have any bad luck and blow it up. We want to hear it running!
Sounded like you had good clearance but not sure whether the hot cam was in yet. Before I pulled it, she sounded awesome wit hthe cam that was in it!

I assume he is talking about p/v clearance here, right????
Good luck on the build! And definitely get some 3.73's in there. Even if the engine puts out 250hp it will still feel like a fast car!!!
When you pull the motor, don't forget to check the motor mounts for cracking. I forgot when I did
I assume you have a 3/8" spacer for the intake, right? You will for the EGR/TB to clear the pass. side valve covers.

then you may need the adapter tho make the egr tube long enough to reach. I got a brand new spare one if ya need it. We can strike a deal
yea things are going really well.... the pistons are either a 2.02 or 1.94.... but they fit fine...
poka said the company said they would work on 2.02 valves with up to a .53 lift cam... the 1190 is a .51 i have no clearence issues...

Mask off the freeze plugs before you paint, looks much better with the contrast then if it was all one color.
